All Unix software stored on our VMS GETSOFTWARE machine is now in tar format. Unfortunately, the names must contain _ALL.BCK for the VMS system to recognize them. Currently that includes three files, ULOSPAK98_TAR, PAKS_OCT98_TAR and PMDF510_TAR.

When you receive these files they will be named ULOSPAK98_TAR_ALL.BCK,PAKS_OCT98_TAR_ALL.BCK and PMDF510_TAR_ALL.BCK. They are NOT VMSsavesets - you must rename them to ULOSPAK98.tar, PAKS_OCT98.tarand PMDF510.tar to use them on the Unix machine.

To install all of the paks use the reg_paks.csh script:

# /software/reg_paks.csh
